Some airlines require users to disable all wireless communication protocols on takeoff and landing.
If you only have Bluetooth (no Wi-Fi), you only have one thing to disable, which means one click somewhere, which means an "Airplane Mode" button wouldn't save you any time. The reason for its existence is to turn off two things with one click.
